Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

“I’m not sure about what happened after that. But you’re undying and indestructible, so those human gods shouldn’t have been able to kill you. However, you seem to have split into two parts, I don’t know where you went.”

Without a doubt, everything that the Treasure Seeking Beast said was definitely a secret to Lan Xuanyu and Er Ming. It was a huge calamity in the early stages of the Divine Realm.

And the root of this calamity was actually the Dragon God—this was something they never expected.

Er Ming knew a little about the Divine Realm, but when he first entered it, there were no longer any Divine Beasts in the Divine Realm, only human gods. If not for the fact that he was attached to the Sea God Tang San, he would not have been able to enter the Divine Realm, much less become the current Divine Beast king.

Everything that the Treasure Seeking Beast said was very credible.

“What about you? Tell me about your situation, what’s going on with you? What’s your relationship with the Dragon God?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Treasure Seeking Beast: “Me? I am your subordinate! I…” At this point, it seemed a little embarrassed.

Lan Xuanyu frowned and said in a low voice, “Speak!”

“Yes, yes!” The Treasure Seeking Beast was obviously very afraid of Lan Xuanyu. It no longer hesitated and continued, “I am your most loyal subordinate. In fact, in the early years, I was just a parasite on your body, a slightly larger life form. But you are a God King! Every day, I was influenced by the God King aura on your body and evolved. I don’t know how many years later, I gained sentience.”

Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred and he said, “You were a parasite on my body, then how many parasites do I have? Just you alone, or do I have many?”

Treasure Seeking Beast replied, “Of course, there are many. I have many companions, but after that great battle in the Divine Realm, it seems like I was the only one who survived and arrived at the Douluo Continent.”

There were many Treasure Seeking Beasts?

“Continue,” Lan Xuanyu said.

The Treasure Seeking Beast replied, “After we gained sentience, we began to evolve. Then, you discovered us and bestowed us with some abilities. As our existence is unique, we can only truly survive by relying on your aura, so we are naturally your most loyal subordinates. You bestowed us with your consciousness, gave us powerful illusion abilities, and also gave us strong perception abilities. You allowed us to help you guard the garden in the Divine Realm and specifically take care of those immortal herbs and immortal fruits. You would even reward us with some occasionally. We only need to return to your side regularly to maintain our abilities.”

Speaking up to this point, its mood suddenly became somewhat downcast. “Actually, during that battle, there weren’t too many casualties, at least not many at the beginning because we were still a part of your body. Until the final battle, many of our comrades were affected and died. After you were split, we lost our attachment to the main body. Many of our comrades died after losing the nourishment of your aura.”

Er Ming could not help but ask, “Then why are you still alive? Who knows how many years have passed since the great battle in the Divine Realm. If you guys relied on the Dragon God’s aura to survive, how did you survive?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast said proudly, “I was the first parasite with intelligence from the Dragon God’s body, how could those juniors compare to me? When I was at my strongest, I had the strength of a First Rank God. All these years, I have been hiding my strength and biding my time, not using my abilities easily. I have been carefully saving the Dragon God’s aura, and I ate some spiritual herbs to replenish my energy so I survived. Furthermore, I have been asleep for a very long time, and even I don’t know how long I have been asleep. But now, the Dragon God has returned, and with the nourishment of the Dragon God’s aura, I can be immortal again. Dragon God, you are finally back!”

At the end, the Treasure Seeking Beast couldn’t help but cry again.

After listening to its explanation, Lan Xuanyu finally knew where this fella came from. “So you have the ability to find treasures?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast replied proudly, “Of course, I am your most loyal Treasure Seeking Beast. As long as a treasure appears in the Divine Realm, no matter what it is, it will not escape my eyes. I will be able to find it for you immediately and nourish them to grow. As long as you transfer enough divine power to me, I can allow them to evolve quickly.”

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes. From the looks of it, this fella wasn’t completely useless! Furthermore, what it said should only be a part of the Divine World’s secrets.

“Alright, since you have become my brother’s soul bone, you will follow him and help him in the future. If I need anything, I will ask for your help.”

From the powerful spiritual power emitted by the Treasure Seeking Beast and the description of its abilities, it seemed like this fella had some use. It wasn’t a bad thing for Qian Lei to fuse with this skull.

“No, no, no, the most honorable Dragon God, my master, I am your Little Trea! Since you’re still alive, how could I possibly follow others? I must follow you. Gorilla, let me go, otherwise, the Dragon God will not be polite to you.”

Qian Lei looked at the Treasure Seeking Beast and exclaimed, “Didn’t you say that you can’t leave after merging with me?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast replied in disdain, “That was just now. With the Dragon God’s aura around, can I be the same as before? Dragon God, please remove me from his head and let me follow you to serve you like before.”

The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched. “I don’t know how.”

How could Lan Xuanyu do something like peeling off a skull? Even the god rank beast king Er Ming couldn’t do it.

The Treasure Seeking Beast was taken aback. “How could you not know?”

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “Try to feel the aura on my body. I’ve only just recovered, and I’m still far from having the full strength of the Dragon God. I don’t know how long it will take for me to recover, so how could I have the ability to strip you off?”

The Treasure Seeking Beast was too agitated just now and had calmed down. It released a wave of spiritual power and swept it across Lan Xuanyu’s body. Then, its eyes became dull.

“Your… Your aura is still yours, but, but why is your strength as weak as an ant? How could this be? Great Dragon God! What happened to you!” As it spoke, it cried again…

Lan Xuanyu’s expression turned ugly as he thought, ‘How am I as weak as an ant? This guy really doesn’t know how to talk!’

Lan Xuanyu said helplessly, “I’m like this right now. It’s not something that I can recover in a day or two. Just follow my partner first.”

“No, absolutely not! Before you return, I could even be a thief, but now that you’re back, I’m a noble Treasure Seeking Beast and your most loyal subordinate. I have to return to your side no matter what. Dragon God, don’t you want Little Trea anymore? Boohoo…”

“Alright, stop crying. It’s not that I don’t want you, it’s just that I don’t have a choice. You’ve already become a skull…” Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what to say. This matter was getting out of hand.
